Relucir

"Wow... Your office is stunning. I would love to work here all day." Tara said while admiring her friend's office.

"How I wish I could have an office like this too," Tara muttered while observing the fabric decoration on the wall.

"Huh? What?" Oona asked not being able to hear Tara.

"Nothing," Tara said shaking her head.

"I forgot to ask where Lyra is? I couldn't even talk to her after she left." Tara said while taking a seat on the couch.

"Lyra... Lyra was here in the... company all night... We are in winter break right now. School open again after a month. So we are trying to finish as much as we can in this period. So she must be resting now since she pulled all night." Oona lied.

Well, the latter part was true. It usually happens since Lyra speaks nonsense like her brain only works at night. So technically she didn't lie, alright!

"My baby is working hard!" Tara said while clapping her hands.

Oona chuckled at her cute reaction.

"Yeah right! I forgot completely. How is your dating life going on with Joel?" Tara asked

Oona smiled blissfully, "Well, my man is the best. Every day feels bliss. I cannot ask for anything more as I already got the best!" Oona said with a proud look on her face.

"Haha! Is it? Good then! Now spit out the details." Tara replied sweetly.

"As if, you don't know. I told you" Oona chuckled.

"No, I don't remember." Tyra sticks out her tongue playfully.

Tara's eyes crinkled and she started sharing her story all over again,

"Well, you know that we started dating 2 years ago right? We already liked each other since we were young so there was nothing dramatic about how we got into this relationship. It was just natural. Now though we are not technically not living together, we live across from each other.

Joel, Juan and Aiden are in one apartment. While Lyra and I are in the unit opposite them. Our life is not a blockbuster hit story. It's full of sweet and peaceful movements. We go on dates. We sometimes fight over silly reasons. We get possessive of each other. That is all.

But you know, though he is not a serious person like Juan, he is no less cool. You should see his face while he is discussing work-related things. I feel like, I would just faint right away. He looks so hot that I feel like having a baby with him right away"

Tara choked on her saliva, "Cough, cough, What are you talking about? Does that mean.. Hmm.. Hmm... you know? Done?"

Tara asked shyly while blushing enormously.

Oona gave a bolsters laugh, "Oh my shy baby, Hmm....... Of course, we have. What century are we in? And I am no conservative girl. Why would I be when I have a smoking hot boyfriend ready for me to eat?"

Oona spoke shamelessly while Tara's already red face turned like a cooked lobster.

"Gosh! Why are you speaking like a hooligan?"

"Because I am one. And if can't play hooligan with my boy then I don't a boyfriend!" Oona said seriously as if taking a sacred oath

Tara cupped her cheeks while speaking dreamily, "I wish I have a relationship like that too. I don't want to cry over every single thing. There should be a mix of everything. But you know, I can never imagine Juan as someone who would get jealous. I really want to see how he would look at that time."

Oona pursed her lips and just gave her a tight-lipped smile.

Oona started sketching drawing her sketches while Tara observed her friend for some time. Tara got up and sat on the opposite side chair and grabbed a paper and pencil and started drawing. Oona gave a glance at her friend and continued doing her work.

After 3 hours of silence and working, both stretched their body. Oona lazed against her chair and took a look at Tara's sketch. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she jumped to her feet and looked at the sketch without blinking her eyes.

"Woah! Wooooaahhhh! Tara! Baby!" Oona jumped and hugged her friend.

Tara was surprised by her shouting but she hugged her back and giggled, "Why are jumping like a monkey?"

Oona pointed at the purple colour necklace earring set that Tara has drawn so detailly.

"I didn't know that you were so talented. Baby! You are f****** awesome."

Tara lightly bet Oona's arm, "No cursing, baby."

"Forget that. Is this your design?"

"Of course, Are you still sleeping? Would I draw something that already exists?" Tara dissed Oona in her gentle way.

"Did you already think of the design?"

"No, seeing your sketch I got an idea and just drew this to pair this up with that silver gown."

"Nice, Nice!"

Oona held Tara's shoulder and spoke seriously, "Baby do you have an interest in Jewellery design? Are you planning to open your brand?"

Tara blinked her eyes and nodded her head, "Yes, but not now. I want to learn the most intricate details and wanna know more about minerals. So I just sketch with a basic idea now. I can't now decide on the materials as of now. But I will learn those in no time." she said with confidence in her voice.

"Great! It's a waste to let your talent go to waste like this. Have to thought about the name of the brand?"

"Yes... 'RELUCIR' which means sparkle in European Spanish." Tara said excitedly

"RELUCIR... sounds good and its meaning is also perfect," Oona said smiling happily silently wishing that it would rock this world through this design.

Though she felt sad that Tara can't work under their label, she was still no less happy.

Tara grinned showing all her teeth while already imagining her future brand.

Both were again immersed in their work for a whole day and returned to Oona's apartment together in the evening.
